Rear Shackle Lift

[Ghostrider]

I have a 95 sport and am fixin to do the lift, but i am having a hard time finding the shaclkes that are the correct size. mine stock are 5.5" bolt to bolt, so i am lookin for around 8" bolt to bolt. also, one side is about 3/4" lower than the other in the back, so how do i correct this? rick, what is your email, i try to email you at ExplorGM@aol.com but it wont go through. also, how did you tack weld the two together? how much did you pay from that place in michigan for the pair, i might just order them from there. lastly, i am also gettin rancho rs5000 when i do this cause i need new shocks, can i just put the standard length on for this mild lift? sorry for all the questions, butnew to the board, anything will help, either emails or posts.

Adios
Gino

I read on this board that '89-'95 Jeep Wrangler shackles will work (but I don't know how long?). Autozone has generic shackle sets (just flat steel bars w/holes) that can be spot-welded to your existing shackles (read this on this board also)to strengthen them. I plan on trying to locate the wrangler shackles... JC Whitney has them but I don't know width or length. My 4dr springs are 2.5" wide. I plan on 1" lift to balance out looks front-rear.
